A clinic blames its closing on Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Patients don’t buy it. (www.yahoo.com)

CURTIS, Nebraska - The only health clinic here is shutting down, and the hospital CEO has blamed Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump’s signature legislation. But residents of Curtis - a one-stoplight town in deep-red farm country - aren’t buying that explanation.

“Anyone who’s saying that Medicaid cuts is why they’re closing is a liar,” April Roberts said, as she oversaw lunch at the Curtis Area Senior Center.

But Kemp, a lifelong Republican and Trump supporter, doesn’t hold that against Trump and suggested he might change course. “I really think he’s gonna do something,” she said.

It's this kind of thinking I find staggering. Trump has done something - it's his bill that caused the problem he's not going to change course. I don't understand why Trump voters want to judge Trump on his words rather than his actions. They're amongst those who are going to suffer to preserve tax cuts that won't benefit them.

I don't understand why Trump voters want to judge Trump on his words rather than his actions.

Because it's simpler. Actions are many and have complex chains of reactions leading to various outcomes.

Meanwhile, after the election he literally said "I'm going to fix everything now." Simple, easy, and something objectively positive. Like the other comment pointed out, this isn't a decision arrived at by thinking about things.
